it doesn't matter if it's a closed system, open system, whatever.
Energy always tends to spread out.
Think of a room where half is filled with smoke. You remove the barrier and the smoke starts spreading from only half the room (more ordered) to fill the whole room evenly (less ordered).
Even if you then take all the walls of the room away, the smoke will still spread out forever, even if it never reaches a homeostasis.
Doesn't matter if you're pumping more smoke in or whatever.
It will always spread out as far as it can go. |
I guess what I meant then was that I don't consider that spreading an "order" of the universe. A repeated function, yes, but wouldn't that just create more disorder elsewhere? I guess now is the convienent time to define "order" and "disorder" minus the assumptions either way of a closed or open universe.
